One gay rainbow does not a mayoralty make

It’s astonishing how quickly Maurice Wimpianson’s star has risen. From a bumbling politician sacked by his leader and unsure which way is up to a man everyone wants to talk up. It seems one big gay rainbow and the charming inability to pronounce the word “celibacy” was enough to give him delusions of adequacy, catapulting him to international fame and, now, a tilt at the Auckland mayoralty.

The only good thing about that is that i she he won he would leave parliament. That’s the only good thing.

@Ruth: Subcontractors renovating Maurice's own Pakuranga house talk very highly of him however. Apparently his complete ignorance of what's going on with it allowed several to become independently wealthy at his expense.
